Wait for end of the sound ( trigger)

[PrizraK11 0]

When creating a function to play a sound when a person enters the trigger, I was faced with the question: what if a person constantly leaves and enters back into the trigger, continuously? Accordingly, the sound will also be produced anew each time and the result will be complete nonsense

 

Question: how can I first check that the sound has played to the end, and then play the same sound again?

When you create a trigger, you have the option:

: the trigger is fired once only or

: the trigger is fired every time the conditions are met

 

.

Create a boolean variable at mission start, for example:

soundPlayable = true;

In your trigger, add this variable as a condition:

this && soundPlayable

In the code where you play the sound, set the variable to false, and add a timer that waits for the the amount of time that it takes the sound to play. When the timer finishes, set the variable to true again.

soundPlayable = false;

<play sound>
  
nul = [] spawn {
	sleep 10;  //  time in seconds to wait
	soundPlayable = true;
};

If your mission is for multiplayer, there may be some locality issues to work out.

Welcome to forum.

Which sound? How do you run it (playSound or else)?

Yea, playSound3d

My code:

 

// init.sqf

execVM "bluforBase.sqf";

// bluforBase.sqf

Sirens = [a1,a2,a3,a4,a5];
areaBaseBLUFOR setTriggerActivation ["EAST", "PRESENT", true];
areaBaseBLUFOR setTriggerStatements ["this", "[Sirens] call KS_fnc_playSignal;", "hint 'hello!'"];

// fnc_playSignal

params ["_signals"];
_soundPlayable = false;
{
    private _sound = playSound3D [getMissionPath "\sounds\BaseSounds\onBluforBase.wav", _x, true, getPosASL _x, 3, 1, 450];
} forEach _signals;
